Aqueous biphasic systems (ABSs) based on sodium polyacrylate (NaPA), ethylene oxide/propylene oxide (EO/PO) polymers, and (EO)x-(PO)y-(EO)x triblock copolymers were prepared and applied aiming at continuous fructooligosaccharide (FOS) production and separation. EO/PO hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity balance had a significant effect on ABS formation. To develop an integrated process including the continuous enzymat...
A levan-type fructooligosaccharide was produced by a Paenibacillus strain isolated from Brazilian crude oil, the purity of which was 98.5% after precipitation with ethanol and dialysis. Characterization by FTIR, NMR spectroscopy, GC-FID and ESI-MS revealed that it is a mixture of linear (26) fructosyl polymers with average degree of polymerization (DP) of 18 and branching ratio of 20. Morphological structure an...
